Jabba The Hutt’s personal history is now expected to be one of the key narratives in the movie and fans are likely to finally find out how Han Solo and The Hutt first crossed paths and how their fractious relationship developed.

Lord and Miller reportedly clashed with Lucasfilm executives over the script and this is where Howard is said to be making some major changes.

Howard is expected to reshoot much of the film in which Hutt only enjoyed a cameo appearance.

Jabba The Hutt is expected to be made up in part as a computer-generated image and as an “animatronic puppet”.

The film is yet to be given a title.

One of the key antagonists of the Star Wars series, Jabba The Hutt first appeared in 1983’s Return of the Jedi, the third movie in the hugely popular and successful franchise.

His morbidly obese and slug-like appearance ensured he was a polarising and enduring figure among Star Wars fans.

He has also appeared in The Phanton Menace, the Special Edition of A New Hope and The Clone Wars.

Lord and Miller had been fighting with veteran screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan, before Lucasfilm and Disney backed him over the directors.

Long before Howard got behind the cameras, he was the fresh-faced star of Lucas’ breakout hit American Graffiti in 1973.

Howard won the 2002 directing Oscar for A Beautiful Mind and was nominated in 2009 for Frost/Nixon.
